Every year, plastic surgeons perform many reconstructive procedures to correct acquired and congenital defects and deformities in adults and children. With reconstructive surgery procedures, Plastic Surgeons can restore function and form that may have been lost or hampered by physical injury, congenital (birth) deformities, disease (including skin and breast cancer), and infection. From scar revision procedures to breast reconstruction, Melbourne plastic surgeon David Ross, M.D. undertakes a variety of procedures designed to address every type of trauma, disorder, or deformity.

While the goals of reconstructive surgery are always to improve function and form, modern surgical techniques now allow us to also make remarkable improvements in aesthetic form. With skin grafting, laser surgery, flap surgery, microsurgery and other surgical techniques, we can restore appearance in ways previously thought impossible.
